Celebrity Focus 1: Brad Pitt — Why Did He Divorce Jennifer Aniston?

AI translated from the original Chinese.

From "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston finally reunite for a new project! After 19 years, from old flames to closest friends"

Today let's talk about the first woman Brad Pitt married: Jennifer Aniston, "Jennifer" for short below. Why did they marry, and why did they divorce? Let's see what Brad's chart shows!


History

Age 36: May 1998, began dating Jennifer.

Age 38: July 29, 2000, married Jennifer.

Age 42: January 6, 2005, announced their separation.

Age 43: March 25, 2005, filed for divorce.

Age 43: October 20, 2005, the divorce became final.

(Ages are counted in the East Asian way.)

From dating to marriage, Brad and Jennifer were both in his fourth major period. Let's see what the signs are!


The original chart:

Using the same love chart, we bring in Jennifer's data. Jennifer was born February 11, 1969. That year is a 己酉 year, but it was before the Lunar New Year, so Jennifer was actually born in a 戊申 year.

Were Jennifer and Brad suited?

  1. Jennifer's main star 巨門 (Ju Men) is in 亥, a strong palace.
  2. 巨門 sees 陀羅 (Tuo Luo); if it saw 火星 (Huo Xing) or 鈴星 (Ling Xing), it would immediately form the evil patterns 巨火陀 or 巨鈴陀.
  3. 巨門, a Water star, generally also governs love. Seeing 白虎 (Bai Hu) and 天姚 (Tian Yao), if 化忌 were concentrated, it would generally be read negatively. But for now we don't see any 化忌.

After this basic analysis, we still can't see where things went wrong between them. Let's bring in some information I haven't written about before!

破軍 (Po Jun) is lord of the spouse

破軍 in 午, stem 戊: 天機 (Tian Ji) 化忌, doubly striking 巨門.

太陽 (Tai Yang) is the husband star

太陽 in 巳, strong, stem 丁, directly makes 巨門 become 化忌.

紅鸞 (Hong Luan) and 天喜 (Tian Xi) are the stars of marriage

  1. 紅鸞's stem is 甲, making the husband star 太陽 become 化忌, striking Jennifer's 巨門
  2. 天喜's stem is 戊, making 天機 become 化忌. Besides 天機 化忌, 文昌 (Wen Chang) and 文曲 (Wen Qu) are there too; 昌曲 govern documents, and of course can also symbolize the marriage certificate.

Brad's fourth major period, stem 戊: marriage through separation happened then.

破軍 is already lord of the spouse and is also Brad's fourth major period; moreover, the 午 Palace sees 陰煞 (Yin Sha). So the cause of 天機 化忌 naturally relates to backstabbers. Under the heavy assault of 化忌 from all these marriage-related stars, Jennifer's 巨門 was driven back step by step.

Brad's fifth major period, stem 丁: the divorce happened then.

This 丁 hits Jennifer's 巨門 very directly! At first 巨門 just had Ji stars piling up, but finally the 丁 of the fifth major period struck the blow that severed the marriage between Jennifer and Brad.

Overall Judgment

In this chart we see Jennifer suffering heavy harm from 化忌. It can also be read as Jennifer doing nothing at all, yet many things arising that forced her to end the marriage.

In any case, after the divorce, at least on screen, the two can still act as friends, so it counts as an amicable parting.


Next time let's talk about Brad's third woman, Angelina Jolie. Finally we'll discuss why Brad's marriages keep ending in divorce. That should stretch things out for two weeks! XD
